Camp Damascus
INSTANT USA TODAY & INDIE BESTSELLER
A Best Book of 2023 (Vulture) and a Best Horror Book of 2023 (Esquire, Library Journal) • A Bram Stoker Award Nominee and CALIBA Golden Poppy Award finalist!
Chuck Tingle's debut, Camp Damascus, is a searing and earnest horror debut about the demons the queer community faces in America, the price of keeping secrets, and finding the courage to burn it all down.
Welcome to Neverton, Montana: home to a God-fearing community with a heart of gold.
Nestled high up in the mountains is Camp Damascus, the self-proclaimed “most effective” gay conversion camp in the country. Here, a life free from sin awaits. But the secret behind that success is anything but holy.
And they’ll scare you straight to hell.
